3.7.106
peak value of transient by-pass current
Replace the existing term, definition and notes as follows:
by-pass making current
peak value of the by-pass current in a pole of a by-pass switch during the transient period
following the initiation of current during a by-passing operation. This value is the maximum
instantaneous value of the sum of the capacitor bank discharge current component and the
power-frequency current component. In case of system faults, the power-frequency fault
current is equal to the maximum varistor coordinating current or for schemes without varistor,
the actual maximum power-frequency fault current at the particular location
NOTE 1 The peak value may differ from one pole to another and from one operation to another as it depends on
the instantaneous capacitor voltage prior to by-passing.
NOTE 2 Where, for a three-phase circuit, a single value of peak value of by-pass making current is referred to,
this is, unless otherwise stated, the highest value in any phase.
NOTE 3 The maximum power-frequency fault current at a particular location or the maximum varistor coordinating
current is generally much lower than the rated peak withstand current of by-pass switch.
3.9 Index of definitions
Add, under "B", the following new line:
By-pass making current 3.7.106
Delete, under "P", the existing line "peak value of the transient by-pass current".

4.101 Rated operating sequence
Replace the existing Notes 1, 2 and 3 of this subclause by the following new text and notes:
where
C represents a closing operation;
OC represents an opening operation followed immediately (that is, without any
intentional delay) by a closing operation;
t and t' are time intervals between successive operations;
t and t' should always be expressed in minutes or in seconds.
If the by-passing-insertion time is adjustable, the limits of adjustment should be specified.
NOTE 1 Instead of t = 0,3 s, other value: t = 0,2 s is also used for by-pass switches intended for rapid auto-
reopening.
NOTE 2 Instead of t' = 3 min., other values: t' = 15 s and t' = 1 min are also used for by-pass switches intended
for rapid auto-reopening.
NOTE 3 Other operating sequences may be specified depending upon system requirements.
4.102 Rated by-pass making current (I )
BP
Replace the existing first paragraph of this subclause by the following new paragraph:
The rated by-pass making current is the maximum value of the by-pass making current that
the by-pass switch shall be capable of making under line fault condition when the capacitor
bank is pre-charged to the limiting voltage of the overvoltage protector (U ) and with a
PL
frequency of the by-pass discharge current corresponding to the actual capacitance of the
capacitor bank with its associated inductance of the damping circuit. The effective damping of
the by-pass discharge current can be taken into consideration.
Replace the existing note of this subclause by the following new note:
NOTE The rated by-pass making current should be determined by system studies as the maximum sum of the
instantaneous capacitor bank discharge current and the instantaneous fault current component during the pre-
arcing period (see also IEC 60143-2). A value of pre-arcing time of 5 ms is suggested in case no data is available.
Replace the existing third paragraph of this subclause by the following new paragraph:
The by-pass making performance is covered when the required peak value of the by-pass
making current is equal to or lower than the peak current value used in the relevant type test.
This rule is considered to be valid only when the frequency f of the by-pass making current
BP
is equal to or lower than 130 % of the corresponding value used during type tests.
6.104.5 Number of making operations
Replace the existing text of the subclause, including the note, by the following new text and
table:
The by-pass making current test can be performed using one of the two alternatives given in
Table 7.
The by-pass switch conditions shall be in accordance with 6.102.3.1.

standard.
Annex E – By-pass switches used as the primary by-passing devices
Replace the existing annex by the following new annex:

Annex E
(normative)
By-pass switches used as the primary by-passing devices
By-pass switches are sometimes used as the primary protection of the overvoltage protector
of the series capacitor bank (e.g. without the use of a fast by-passing device such as a spark-
gap) for cases where the power-frequency fault current is relatively low (capacitor banks
generally located in the middle of the line length) or where the use of a spark-gap could result
in non-reliable operation of the spark-gap. For such series capacitor schemes, the varistor
bank is designed to absorb the resulting energy produced by a line fault until the by-pass
switch is closed. Figure E.1 illustrates the typical component layout.

Figure E.1 – Typical component layout for by-pass switches
used as the primary by-passing device
For this particular application, the requirements stated in this standard also apply with the
following addition.
The by-pass switch will be subjected, for all line faults, to the capacitor bank discharge
current component (I ) and to the power-frequency fault current. For schemes using
DISCHARGE
fast by-passing devices (for example spark-gap), these types of stresses are not frequent
since they are almost always seen by the fast by-passing device and not by the by-pass
switch.
Test parameters of already performed by-pass making current tests can be used to qualify a
by-pass switch for this specific application as follows:
– A by-pass switch has been tested following alternative 1 (see 6.104.5) at a by-pass
making current I . This by-pass switch can be used as a primary by-passing device in an
BP
installation having a by-pass making current of up to the tested I .

– A by-pass switch has been tested following alternative 2 (see 6.104.5) at a by-pass
and a discharge current I . The tested parameters result in
making current I

Example: A by-pass switch has been tested following alternative 2 (see 6.104.5) at a by-
pass making current of 120 kA and a discharge current of 70 kA. The tested parameters
give an equivalent I for gapless application as follows:

This by-pass switch can be used as the primary by-passing device in an installation having
a by-pass making current of up to 88,2 kA.
